Great stuff...love the massed formation of Fokkers....there any SPADS flying in the world at this time or were there any at the show?

thanks. no SPADs at this show, but there is a SPAD VII replica at Rhinebeck, and a SPAD XIII replica at the memorial Foundation in France. I believe that the Old Kingsbury Aerodrome in TX is building one too.

That looks like it blows Rhiebeck out of the water, another who wishes to have a pocket of cash to fly around the world for airshows.

Great pics...were the Fokkers flying behind rotary engines, or did they have Warners (or other small radials)?

The Camel has a rotary, but if you look at the bottom of the cowl on the triplanes (at least the ones we have close up pictures of) you can see the fixed carburator box down there from a warner or similar radial.
